Could anybody provide me with a guide/demo/tutorial about Jasper reports in Odoo V8?
I found the source code for V8 here: https://github.com/JayVora-SerpentCS/Jasperv8
The module installed without any problems and under settings > Technical I have two new items for Jasper reports.
From here on I am clueless though. If I understand this correctly you make an XML which specifies the model through 'Create Data Template'? But what then?

There are no tutorials or guides to be found and especially not for Odoo V8. Could anybody help me out here?

Update: I found out there is demo data in this module. When you create a new database with the option for demo data ticked on you can see this under settings > Users. This directly throws up an error when you want to print though:

@Yenthe, this is a contribution and we migrated the v7 code to make it usable in v8. Its a big module, being busy we hven't been able to write any doc. As soon as we are free to do this, we shall give this a top priority.
Thanks.

I agree with you. I'll be focusing on getting Aeroo up and running, as there are a number of useful dependant modules that I need to implement in my own projects. I'll write a short tutorial if and when I can get it up and running. If not i'll look again at Jasper.

If you do manage to figure out the basics for Jasper though I think it would make a great tutorial for your collection. I for one would be very interested to see a guide for this if you can figure it out.

@Serpent,

This is great news! I look forward to seeing some docs soon, thank you.

@Luke great to hear! Documentation is what Odoo needs, there is far to little. Some good tutorials really save you hours of time really!
I will figure out Jasper eventually and I'll write a blog article about it afterwards too, so others do not have to search and test like I will. I'll keep you updated.
@Serpent,
Great to hear! Could you just give a very short explanation about how to create a new report? I'm sure if I get the basic info that I can figure it out and write a tutorial about it!

Great job Luke! Sadly I really need to find out how Jasper works as this is the specific request. While Aeroo looks interesting this is not something I'll learn/use for now. Have you managed to find out more about Jasper reports? There seems to be nothing available about this..

@Luke
Nice to hear! I personally haven't had time to look into Jasper reports anymore but I'm still interested in it so if you do get it working please let me know. I'd probably write a blog article about this too, there is by far too little information about this. :) And thanks for the link!

Thanks for the reaction Hardikgiri! Alright the only code you need to add for the report is just like jasper_demo.xml? Just one XML file with those settings modified to the correct model etc? And about the this is the menu from where the demo reports being called and printed. Where exactly can I print the demo report out? I do not see any option on the user.

Hi Yenthe,
Further more I need to see by installing the jasper report and the module you have installed.
Don't worry I will do it and send you the updates.
Actually I am looking for the work/job in Odoo, If you have then you can refer Me.

Would you be able to post some of the errors/tracebacks as gists on your github account along with steps to reproduce each one?

I'd like to take a look at Jasper Reports as well, as Aeroo and Jasper seem to be the most highly recommended reporting engines for Odoo.

For Aeroo there were some parts of the code that had not been fully migrated to the new 8.0 API from the old 7.0 API, and with some help from some community members on this forum I was able to get things working with some changes to the developer's original code that was still using the 7.0 API.

I'll be trying to get a working installation of Jasper this week or next if I can find time, so I would like to see what issues you've already run into if possible.
